Lauren -Forgive me for laughing. You want somebody of "stature" to stand up to the bullies and a**holes who can't see how torture degrades them in the eyes of the world?
The problem is that "stature" today means a well-known person who has made a career ov being an opportunistic suck-up to the rich and powerful. Someone who lacks personal courage and builds his reputation by paying image consultants like people used to pay hairdressers.
Being saved by a coward seems unlikely. ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as lists-ip () insecure org To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ip Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
